Golisano Institute for Sustainability (GIS) at Rochester Institute of Technology is accepting applications for September 2012 admission to the Sustainable Systems M.S. (http://www.rit.edu/gis/academics/ms-sustainability/ ). Since this is an interdisciplinary program, students of many education backgrounds are admitted, and likewise, coursework and research draws on numerous disciplines within science, engineering, and liberal arts.

GIS’ multidisciplinary faculty have active research programs in diverse aspects of sustainable production systems, sustainable mobility, alternative energy systems, remanufacturing, recycling, and Eco-IT. Their research is supported by grants from such agencies as the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Department of Commerce, Environmental Protection Agency, and many major corporations. Our faculty and students (http://www.rit.edu/gis/academics/students/ ) conduct their research in state-of-the-art laboratories, which will expand into our new 83,000 sg. ft. research center (http://www.rit.edu/gis/academics/construction/ ) in October 2012.

We would very much appreciate your help in reaching students who may be interested in learning more about our program and financial aid. More information available at: http://www.rit.edu/gis/academics/ms-sustainability/
